[Envy, when time began]
He knew that the chief priests had delivered, &c.
—xv. 10.
Envy, when time began,
The death of Jesus was,
From earth's foundations slain
It nail'd Him to the cross:
Through envious pride the fiend came in,
And death with the malicious sin.
The death of Jesus was,
From earth's foundations slain
It nail'd Him to the cross:
Through envious pride the fiend came in,
And death with the malicious sin.
A murderer from the first
In Cain the devil stood:
And still the wicked thirst
To shed their brethren's blood,
And daily by the priestly vice
The Saviour in His members dies.
